He would bring them in if he wasn’t in such a weak position. It’s amazing the country is effectively run by some backbenchers.

Same place as her come into a pub but only drink a soft drink earlier in the year ?!! (Sturgeon). What happened to the magical covid passports in the devolved nations ?!!
All for what, mainly to protect people who have decided not to be vaccinated from filling up hospitals ?! From all the info I’ve seen to date and numerous anecdotal evidence, if youre triple jabbed you’ll barely get any symptoms, double jabbed (especially recently) you’re almost certain to avoid severe illness ?! Even no jabs you’re far less likely to end up in hospital with Omicron. Let’s hope it stays that way
This comes down to what country do you want to live in now ? For all Johnson’s faults and he’s got a shitload, his natural instinct is to try not to impose unnecessary restrictions. That cost him/country last winter but this time it feels/appears like it might be different
It remains to be seen whether it was/is the right approach, however, there are plenty of posters on here that don’t usually support the governments actions and yet I can’t recall seeing any/many questioning Johnsons approach this time, which tells its own story.
